   Closest you can come is to start in TIFKAM (The Interface Formerly   
   Known As Metro) and have it switch to the desktop shortly after (just a   
   few seconds, depending on your system speed) and provide a start menu   
   by using a start menu replacement utility like Start8, Classic Shell,   
   etc.
